En-Lightning CONNECTIONS “coming together is a beginning...keeping together is progress...working together is success!” January 2006 Volume Nine Number Two On-Line Registration at Eastview High School The registration process at EVHS offers students, with the assistance of their parents, an opportunity to plan their educational path for the 2006-2007 school year. This year, students/parents will register on-line at www.district196.org/ evhs between February 8 and February 16 for current grade 9-11 students and January 12 through January 27 for current 8th grade students. Students/parents will have the opportunity to complete their registration from school, home, work, the public library or any other location where there is access to a computer and the Internet. Because these decisions will impact course offerings and staffing decisions, adjustments will not be made to student registration course selections after February 6th, unless they occur during the Registration Review Period prior to each semester and are supported by the school course change guidelines. The following timeline will help you plan your registration decisions. Registration Communication 2006-2007 REGISTRATION TIMELINE Parents with questions regarding the registration process or course selection may contact the student’s current teacher, guidance counselor or the academic department coordinator. Email and voice mail contacts are listed in the EVHS Calendar/ Guidebook. Jan. 27 Students in grade 8 return registration forms to their homeroom teacher. • Feb. 8 Students 9-11 receive registration materials • Feb. 16 Students in grades 9-11 complete the on-line registration process by this date. Mar. 16 Final date to make adjustments to student registration for 2006-2007. Students from DHMS, RMS and VMS, who are scheduled or choose to enroll at Eastview High School, will be contacted on an individual basis to discuss registration at EVHS. Teachers are the student’s primary registration advisors. (e.g. If a student has an English course question, please see the current English teacher.) Counselors will be available in the commons, during student lunch periods in February, to answer registration questions. Mid-Term & Parent/Teacher Conferences Your next opportunity for Parent/Teacher Conferences are on the evening of Thursday, March 9, 2006. Students will register on-line at www.district196.org/evhs between February 8 and February 16. GUIDANCE DEPARTMENT Applying for Financial Aid 1. All financial aid begins with the (FAFSA) Free Application for Federal Student Aid. The forms can be obtained in the guidance office or can be completed on line at www. fafsa.ed.gov. This application is the basis for qualifying for any federally or state funded financial aid program. Some individual colleges may require an additional form to be filled out in order to obtain additional financial information. 2. Families and students should complete their taxes as soon as possible. With this information, fill out the FAFSA and send it in. It is an advantage to complete the FAFSA early. (If you cannot complete your taxes early, do not wait. You may use estimates, but you will be required to provide verification later.) 3. Within 3-6 weeks, the Department of Education will send you an acknowledgement which includes your Expected Family Contribution and any eligibility for the Federal Pell Grant. The EFC is the amount of money that your family is expected to contribute toward the student’s education. This amount stays the same regardless of the cost of the school to which the student applies. 4. Your college(s) will use the EFC to determine your financial need with a simple formula: Cost of the school – EFC = Financial Need. For example, if the cost of the school is $16,000 and your EFC is $9,000 then your financial need at that college is $7,000. 5. It is then up to the college to try to meet that need. Your college will then construct a financial aid package that may include scholarships, grants, loans, and work study. You will receive notice of that package in an Award Letter from the financial aid office. 6. You should respond to the Award Letter promptly to notify your college that you accept all, part, or none of the Financial Aid Package. If the financial aid package is not adequate or you have questions, contact the financial aid office at the college to discuss the situation. 7. If there is a change in your family’s financial status: divorce, loss of job, significant change of income, added medical expenses or other circumstances that may impact your resources, contact the financial aid office at your college to discuss the matter. The colleges have some ability to make adjustments to accommodate special circumstances. 8.

Eastview High School personnel have unearthed several spring break trip itineraries to Mexico that speak of such things as: 36 hours of free drinks; hotels across the street from 5 major bars; foam dancing; and drinking boat tours. Eastview High School does not authorize nor do we promote these spring break trips to Mexico. Eastview’s Parents Are Key (PAK) and Eastview High School believe groups of students should always be supervised by parents or teachers during spring break trips. We see these trips as a serious health and safety issue for your teen. Because nothing is more important than the health and safety of our children, we are writing this letter to Eastview parents to caution you about a real and serious threat to your child’s health and safety. In May 1998, the Star Tribune ran a 3-day series of articles about teen drinking. Those articles created a clear, yet frightening description of what happens when teens are allowed to go to Mexico during spring break. 1. “More than 1,000 Twin Cities-area high school students flocked to this mecca of drinking, parties, sun and sex last spring, enabled by parents who don’t say no.” 2. “For seven days, most of these kids rarely will be sober, some of them will take risks they never would at home, and a few will pay dearly for their lapses in judgement.” 3. “These kids get down there and explode,” said a sales manager for a tour company that targets college students for spring break trips. “They (high school kids) don’t know how to handle themselves.” 4. “(Girls) faced such risks, as date-rape drugs being slipped into their cups.” 5. “The alcohol-and sex-drive atmosphere was more evidence that parents are forcing adulthood on kids before they’re ready.” 6. “The anything-goes atmosphere, combined with unlimited access to alcohol, even for those under 18, left many parents worrying how far their children or their classmates would go.” We are seriously concerned about any child who goes to Mexico with little or no supervision. Appropriate healthy alternatives that families might consider are spring break trips offered by spring sports teams and other school sponsored activities. Please also consider supporting our belief that the best way to enjoy your senior’s last spring break would be together as a family. Just say “NO” to spring break trips to Mexico for the health and safety of your child.

This was a two-fold drive, with an emphasis on awareness and education. The awareness goal was to construct a paper chain of 87,000 links, with each link representing a life lost in the quake. Each fourth hour class was invited to participate by creating 1000 links. The links were collected and assembled by the Student Council and displayed in the commons during the week of December 19th. The final tally was just under 65,000 links and, while short of the original goal, made quite a visual impact. The effort also included a fund drive for Heifer International, with all funds earmarked for the Pakistani region. Heifer International was selected as the recipient for donations because of their philosophy. As their website states: “Heifer International was founded on a simple belief: ending hunger begins with giving people the means to feed themselves. Today, millions of families in more than 127 countries have been given the gifts of self-reliance and hope. Every family and community receiving animals also receives training in environmentally-sound, sustainable agriculture. Recipient families “pass on the gift” by sharing one or more of their animals’ offspring with other struggling families. Each recipient becomes a donor. This process enhances self-esteem, ensures program continuity, builds solidarity and multiplies the benefits of the original gift for generations to come” (www.heifer.org). The Student Council collected $3500 in cash donations from the EVHS community for the Heifer project. The EVHS Student Council would like to extend a HUGE thank you to all of the students, staff and community members who generously helped with both the awareness and fund drives this holiday season! This new venture was a great success!
